Celebrate with Friends

Our Boker Tov (good morning) time together each morning is one of many ways our campers meet new friends and spend time with old ones! Every morning, the whole camp joins together for songs, cheers, and fun. Each Friday is filled with ruach (spirit) as campers enjoy a Shabbat celebration. In these special moments, MJCCA Day Camps is filled with campers making lifelong bonds and feeling a true sense of community.

Shop the Shuk

Our Shuk is the highlight of every week at camp. Run by campers in our Chaverim Program for teens with special needs, the Shuk allows campers to strengthen their decision-making and social skills as they exchange shekels (coins) for goodies like entertaining toys and delicious snacks. For campers who run the Shuk, this experience fosters independence, helps improve communication skills, increases pride, offers responsibility, and gives them the chance to chat with fellow campers.
